Avianca Brasil to exit Star Alliance Sept 1
Ocean Air Linhas Aéreas S/A, formerly doing business as Avianca Brasil, will leave Star Alliance Sept 1. Ocean Air’s withdrawal follows several months of bankruptcy protection and the revocation of its air operator’s certificate by Brazilian regulator ANAC. The airline filed for bankruptcy protection Dec 11, 2018. Star Alliance CE Jeffrey Goh said, “Initially joining Star Alliance in 2015, Avianca Brasil made important contributions to our customer proposition in the Brazilian market, and we regret this unfortunate development. I wish to stress that the exit of Avianca Brasil in no way affects the membership of Avianca S.A., our valued member based in Bogotá, Colombia, which continues to be a significant contributor to the Alliance in South America.” <br/>
